Ebola (F1Vir) (Moonfisher) - 10.01.08

[Moonfisher]

I'm not sure if DB 2.43y is working the way it should or if the bots in the F1 league are just outdated, but either way if I try using standard settings in DB 2.43y this seems to win.

It's my first bot, so didn't want to start from scratch, I basicaly stole a whole lot of things.
Took Bubbles (The whole thing), added the adaptive armor from Excalibur, and then added my own virus and the seed genes.
Not sure if theres a policy on crudely copying large amounts of code, but as mentioned, first bot, lazy, copy paste coding...
I think I should have read the manual more closely, lots of bugs in it, redundant code aswell, generaly sloppy.
You can point out the errors for other readers if you like, but you don't have to for my sake, I'll ask in the newbie section if I have questions after reading those details.

Code: [Select]

'This bot is buildt on (That is : Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V) Bubbles(Jez), and uses the adaptive armor from Excalibur(Light)
'Intended for F1 running DB 2.43y  (I don't think it will do well in DB 2.43)
'The change in strategy is simply the use of a rather simple virus to keep veggies from respawning and makes it harder for the oponent to feed.
'When a bot drops below a certain size and it will attempt to feed on a small alge while keeping it alive and small.
'IT was suposed to do all sorts of other things but there are some fundamental flaws or something causing buggy behavior.
'This is my first bot and I wanted to play around to see what you can do, I think I overlooked some important basic details about how the memmory locations work, I think I suddenly noticed the word "stack" in one of the guides.
'So I'm probably pushing way too many values into the stacks or something like that, either way it's realy buggy and oesn't work right, and anyone is welcome to steal the strategy and do it right.
'Also lots of redundant code. So don't use this as an example if you're new at this.
'I don't think I'll try to fix this myself, I'd rather RTM more thorougly and start from scratch on something new and different.

Ehm..., okay.

Basicly you've took the bot bubbles.
Added the addetive armor from Excelibur.
You added a tie-feeding system of your own.
You added a virus of your own.

You say it wins F1, I can believe it, I just tested it against Multiply4. It won without many doubt(I claimed a little time ago that multiply4 won F1)

You have picked very wisely, or very luckely. Bubbles is a good basci fighting bot. Made by Jez, most don't use complicated defence/attacks systems and you added the complicated defence/attack system of Excelibur, luckely they don't interfere very much with eachother and it seems Exceluburs system took probably completely over if I see it.

Strangely it works  .

I am completely concused about how the seeding works, and why it barely tie-feeds.(I don't use tie-feeding myself, probably it is me)

Not sure if theres a policy on crudely copying large amounts of code, but as mentioned, first bot, lazy, copy paste coding...

No, there isn't, maybe there should, but how can and should anywone ever want to check all bots to control if there hasn't been anything taken.
My first bot was a simple shortbot by the way, you don't have to post a league winner first.  

I am a little bit doubting if this bot should be regulated. And if it should be run into the league. (Well if they ever get updated again, Jez the former league-mod quit, maybe if he has time he will run it again but I wouldn't bet anything on it.)Hmm, maybe I will run the complete leagues at some time, but I'll wait atleast till V2.44 is officially out.

I hope someone else reads the bot. And replys with if this bot should or should not be regulated.

On one side: This isn't made your own (completely). I would prefer bots that are made by someone him/herself.
On the other side: You have been pretty lucky you have found this combination, should you be awarded and get the league-winner.

How did this cases get solved earlier, how did Jez it?

Oh, and if the bot is found good, I would prefer all authors been writen down in the name, do you object Moonfisher?
Ebola (F1Vir) (Moonfisher) - 10.01.08
Would be
Ebola (F1Vir) (Moonfisher/Jez/Light) - 10.01.08

There's a precedant.  Some bot by Jez I think, back in the day, was a Frankensteinian monster of three different bots.

When you're taking that much raw code, from so many different sources, it's a lot of work just making them all work together.  So it's certainly a valid bot combination.

I made DIN(Dominator, Icarus, Ninja) much the same way. Does tak a good bit of work rigging the ID systems and defenses to work together. I remember having a devil of a time just getting them to stop killing each other.  Did good in the leagues, until even more crazy designed bots came out  

Your second to last gene needs a " . " in front of the repro command, as it is it won't work right. Otherwise looks pretty good, modifying vshoot based on energy and vtimer is a good idea.

Nice to hear its a valid bot  And don't worry I'm building the next one from scratch.
And if others want to be credited in the name they're welcome.
I was mostly just trying things out to get a feel for it.
And the reson they don't kill the alge is simply to get as much from it as possible since the virus is making it hard to find food. (They only tie feed on alge)

How does it do in internet mode?
